Mobile: Flight Log

The Flight Log page is where you record and finalize the operational details of your flight.


Accessing the Flight Log

You can quickly access the Flight Log in two ways:

  1. From the Flight Control page for your specific flight.

  2. Using a swipe action on the flight card displayed on the Schedule page.

From the Flight Control page, you will see a status that reflects the current state of the log. (For more details on Flight Log statuses, please click here.)


Log Type and OOOI Times

The layout of the log is determined by the aircraft profile settings (Aircraft & Vendors > Aircraft Search > {select aircraft} > Operations (tab) > Logging):
  1. Rotor Wing Log (Helicopter): Displays the basic Off and On times.
  2. Fixed Wing Log (Airplane): Displays the full OOOI (Out, Off, On, In) times.

Entering OOOI Times

You can manually enter the OOOI times using your keypad. If your organization's settings permit, you can log these times in either Zulu or Local time by changing the toggle in the upper right of the section. To clear an entered time or date, press the 'x' next to the value.

Using the Autofill Feature

The Autofill button is always available to assist with time population and has three distinct states:
  1. Gray: No ADS-B data has been received for the flight. Tapping the button will populate all available time fields with the scheduled times.
  2. Orange: Some ADS-B data has been received, but not all of the OOOI times are available. Tapping the button will populate the fields that have ADS-B data with the precise data, and fill any remaining unpopulated fields with the scheduled times.
  3. Green: All OOOI times have been received via ADS-B data. Tapping the button will populate all fields using the ADS-B data.

ADS-B Data Tag: If a time is filled using ADS-B data (whether partially or completely), it will display a small ADS-B tag next to the time value.

Notes
To utilize ADS-B data for automatic population, two criteria must be set up on the web experience: the aircraft must have flight following enabled on its profile, and the auto-population of OOOI times must be enabled.


Other Time Entries

If enabled for the aircraft in setting, you may see and enter additional time data:

  • TACH (Tachometer)

  • HOBBS (Hobbs Meter)


Pilot Flying Time Allocation

The Pilot Flying section handles the recording of flight time for crew members:
  1. The system automatically generates an entry for the Pilot in Command (PIC) and allocates the entire block time to them.
  2. Block time is automatically split between Day and Night time based on the scheduled time of the flight.
  3. You can add additional certifications to the PIC's entry, such as Instrument Time.
  4. To add an additional Pilot Flying (e.g., SIC), press the plus sign (+) button.
  5. If the Night Vision Goggle (NVG) setting is enabled 
  6. Automatic Subtraction: When you log Day or Night time for an additional pilot, the system automatically subtracts that exact time from the first Pilot Flying on the list.
Pilot Flying times be not be entered before OOOI is provided. 

Flight Events

This section automatically populates with three primary flight events:

  • Takeoff (by the PIC)

  • Approach (by the PIC)

  • Landing (by the PIC)

If the sole Pilot Flying is changed to the SIC, the SIC will be automatically assigned to all three events.

  • The Takeoff and Landing events will automatically assign Day or Night status based on the OOOI times you entered.

  • You must manually enter the Approach Type.

To log additional activities, press the plus sign (+) button. This allows you to add many other event types, including additional approaches for training, holding procedures, tracking, VOR checks, and other less common events.

Flight Events may not be logged before the OOOI times are provided.

Components

Any active engines or components (such as an Auxiliary Power Unit, or APU) that are enabled for the aircraft will automatically be displayed here.

  • Engines: Each engine will automatically be allocated one Cycle and the calculated Flight Time.

  • APU: You can manually enter the time for the APU from this section.


Fuel Log

The fuel section allows for selection of measurement units in either Kilograms or Pounds. Fuel log values may be saved before the OOOI times are provided. You will record data in the following fields:

  • Fuel Added

  • Fuel Out

  • Fuel In

  • Fuel Burn

  • Fuel Drain

  • Fuel Tech Consumption

  • Fuel Density

Auto-Calculation: If you enable the fuel burn auto-calculation setting in the app, you only need to enter the Fuel Out and Fuel In values, and the Fuel Burn will be calculated for you. If the setting is disabled, you can manually enter the fuel burn from your Flight Management System (FMS).


Additional Information

This section contains various fields that may or may not apply to your specific flight, including:

  • Indicated Airspeed (IAS)

  • Static Air Temperature (SAT)

  • Flight Level

  • Anti-Icing usage

  • Diversion Airport (if applicable)


Delay Reason

If your organization requires an explanation for a departure delay, you can provide the necessary Delay Reason value in this optional final section.


Saving the Log

The Flight Log can be edited even after it is saved.

Multi-Pilot Editing: Please note that if multiple pilots are editing the Flight Log simultaneously, the last save "wins." The most recent save action will overwrite any previously saved versions of the flight log, so coordinate with your crew.

Offline Saving

If a Flight Log is saved while disconnected from Wi-Fi and cellular data, the app will automatically save your changes locally so you don't lose your work. The log will then appear on your Unsent Page. This means the change has not yet synced to the cloud.
  1. Visibility: Until the Flight Log is successfully sent and synced, it will only be visible on your specific mobile device (on the Unsent Page).
  2. Web/Other Devices: The change will not be visible on the web experience or any other mobile device until it is sent and processed (e.g. if another pilot goes into the Flight Log page for that same flight they will not see it completed).
